Abstract:
Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a developmental defect of tooth enamel that affects the quality of the enamel. It is estimated that MIH affects between 13.1% and 14.2% of the world's population. However, in some countries, such as Tunisia (North Africa), there is a dearth of information regarding the prevalence of MIH. The range of treatment options for MIH includes preventive interventions implemented during childhood as well as conservative restorations for adult patients. This case report was aimed at providing a detailed account of the esthetic rehabilitation of a clinical case involving a young female patient who had MIH-related esthetic impairment and for whom ceramic veneers were recommended as part of a minimally invasive treatment plan.
